Announcing Method and Wowhead PvP Guide Collaboration

We are pleased to announce our partnership with Method for Arena PvP Guides. Method is an esports organization that includes one of WoW's top end guilds, MDI and PvP teams. We have enjoyed our collaborations with Method including the annual BlizzCon party and are excited to share these guides with you.

These PvP guides outline the strengths and weaknesses of the specialization, strong team compositions, and effective strategies. They also includes advice on talent builds, honor talent builds and racial traits. The guides are written by top PvPers either belonging to, or friends of, the Method Organization and proofed by Dderserei, Wowhead's Esports writer and WoW Liquipedia admin.

Below you can find all the Method PvP guides currently published on Wowhead with more soon on the way. You can also find these PvP guides at our Method Guide Hub, the class menu dropdowns from the navigation bar, and by searching most variants of " pvp guide" in the search bar.

Is there a particular PvP topic you'd like to see us cover? Let us know in the comments.

Hey there, is a particular guide you feel could have more detail? We've had a pretty elaborate process getting these live - the Wowhead team requested additional information on some drafts, had several staff formatting, and then ran them by Dderserei to fact-check/polish them. The formatting/grammar checking alone takes several hours per guide which I'm sure was not the time it took to write your comment :)

If you have questions or suggestions for a particular spec, the author's contact information is listed at the end of each guide and they're all happy to explain things more. You can also leave feedback via if you'd rather be anonymous and we can then reach out to the writers directly to ensure more info is added.

I posted as a rogue for a reason. I can rank some of these guides as good, some as not bad and some... you know better than me.Anyway i'm ready to change my mind. Let's say in a month. Do your best. Regards.

@perculia don't worry about him these are pretty good guides even if were missing a few important specs.

Expecting guides for every single possible comp would be insane considering even if we ignore tanks or triple dps there are 300 possible comps. Making how to play and how to play aganist every single one would be insane

300 possible 2 dps comps. Multiple by 6 if you want to add healers

A few more are coming soon - specifically Disc, Resto Druid, and Affliction Lock should be pretty soon. We just got the completed draft in for Resto Druid and have early drafts of Disc and Affliction that are waiting on some more edits.

It's on their scheduled to-do list, yep! It's not considered one of the top specs but since there's demand for it, we can work on it.

The Method raid team is a branch of the Method Organization, which includes several PvP teams that have done quite well, including winning the 2017 North American Championship. We've included brief bios and rankings of the authors, you can see they each have a lot of personal achievements in the PvP scene. While Method and Wowhead staff have facilitated the administrative side of the guides, the content is 100% written by the pro PvPers.
